Polynode technology for enhanced dairy separation

In dairy production, achieving high separation efficiency and capacity can often be challenging, especially with traditional disc separators. High energy consumption and limited separation surface areas are common obstacles faced by producers looking to optimize their processes.

Increased separation surface and capacity

Polynode technology by Tetra Pak represents a significant advancement in separator disc design. With smaller and lower nodes, this technology allows for more discs to be added to the stack, increasing the overall separation surface. This innovation enables either higher capacity while maintaining separation performance or improved separation efficiency at the same capacity. The one-piece polynode discs can be installed in existing machines with traditional welded discs, reducing energy and water consumption per liter of product and minimizing environmental impact. This is particularly beneficial for dairy producers aiming to maximize fat removal and achieve specific end product specifications.

Benefits

  • Higher capacity due to increased separation surface
  • Improved separation efficiency with maintained capacity
  • Reduced energy and water consumption per liter of product
  • Lower environmental impact
  • Compatible with existing traditional disc separators
